Salt Lake City map poster

Salt Lake City is one of the more distinctive American cities to see as a map. Its streets follow a broad, orderly grid, with wide avenues and blocks laid out on a generous scale, and many addresses are numbered by their distance from a central point downtown. That logic gives the city a strong, readable structure, the kind of street pattern that holds up well as a piece of graphic art.

The setting is a large part of the city's character. Salt Lake City sits in a valley with the Wasatch Range rising sharply to the east and the Great Salt Lake spread out to the northwest. For people who live there, the mountains are a constant reference point, visible at the end of street after street, and the canyons nearby lead to ski areas and hiking trails within a short drive of downtown. The University of Utah sits on the east bench, and the capitol overlooks the city from the hillside to the north.

The Brutalist edition is a bold, graphic visual style, built around strong shapes and a confident, heavy presence on the wall. It suits a city whose plan is so clearly organized, letting the grid read as pattern and form. This poster is meant as decorative art, not a navigation aid. It works well for someone who grew up along the Wasatch Front, a student who spent formative years at the U, a skier who keeps returning, or anyone who has moved away and wants a reminder of the valley, the mountains, and the streets in between.
